The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 131

After saying that, Gerald walked up to the car to take a look.

He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t distressed at the sight of his broken car at all.

Moreover, what could he possibly do now? What has happened, has happened. Plus it was Mila’s grandmother’s birthday banquet today.

If he demanded them to pay for the damages incurred, what would it make Mila look like?

Besides that, it was also have been too embarrassing.

Out of no choice, he was left to bottle his bitter sufferings in silence.

And with that, Gerald could only ask them to carry on whatever they were doing. He could perhaps later on drive his car to the 4S shop to fix the damages.

“Who do you think you are? Do you think that everything will be okay just because you say that it’s okay?”

“Those who don’t know any better would actually think that you are actually Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street. Let’s only talk about all these when you finally reach that point in life!”

“Exactly! If we leave right now, then this will definitely be treated as a hit-and-run case. Adding on to that, we’ll have to bear a very huge responsibility because this would be a case that costs so much money! How can you have no legal consciousness at all!”

A group of Mila’s cousins, aunts and uncles immediately began mocking Gerald.

Irene grabbed this opportunity to add to the flames, “He is just a country bumpkin who does not know anything at all. So, how can you talk about legal consciousness with him?”

“Right okay, let’s not talk about him anymore. He can’t be of any help anyway. We might as well use all of our efforts to see if we can use any of our connections to resolve this matter instead.”

Rita glanced at Gerald faintly before she fixed her attention back to the topic of the car.

“Rita is right. Since it has already happened, escaping is not a solution. Ah! If we really have no choice, then I will contact Mr. Logan from the Bureau of Commerce. Back then, your grandfather had a very close relationship with him. Perhaps, he might know the identity of this young man!”

The old lady replied.

Many people started whipping out their cell phones to call their own contacts.

Kenneth did not want to be outdone. He wanted to see if he could use his connections to find out more about the owner of the car.

Gerald shook his head wryly.

If this continued, everyone would be placed in a very awkward situation.

Ugh!

Gerald sighed before he took out his car key.

Beep! Beep!

Two beeps.

The lights started flashing.

“Ahh?”

All of them were taken aback.

They then saw Gerald slowly walking forward.

He pressed a button again.

There were two buzzing sounds.

The Lamborghini made a mechanical sound and the sunroof opened automatically, as it folded into a kind of roadster.

Gerald picked up a bottle of mineral water from the driver’s seat.

He was really thirsty.

After taking a few mouthfuls, he wiped his mouth before he said, “I’ve already told you, that it’s no big deal. You can go and get busy with your own plans.”

No one replied to Gerald at all. Instead, he was greeted with a pin-drop silence.

Smack!

Kenneth was just about to make a phone call when his cell phone fell to the ground because he did not hold it firmly in his hand.

Glup!

Kyle and his girlfriend could only swallow their saliva.

Irene started breathing rapidly as her mouth gapped slightly, indicating the intense shock she was feeling at that very moment.

Rita was standing next to Gerald. A confused look ran all over her face before she slowly looked at Gerald in surprise.

The old lady was also stunned.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

“This car…belongs to Gerald?”

No one knew who broke the silence first.

More so, that person who spoke out captured everyone else’s inner consternation with much precision.

Mila was also very surprised and she asked, “Gerald, this car is yours?”

“Of course, it is mine. Didn’t I tell you earlier that I’ll be bringing you out for a drive one of these days?”

Gerald replied.

Mila remembered now.

It was the day of the driving test. When Gerald was sending her back to her dormitory, he said that he would drive her around in a luxury car soon.

Back then, she replied that she would be waiting then!

And as for Gerald, he then told her that he was actually a rich second generation.

To that statement, she playfully responded, “Mr. Crawford, I would be waiting for that day to come.”

Mila was simply joking around to play along with Gerald’s joke back then.

Who would’ve thought that seeing Gerald open his Lamborghini sports car’s door right in front of her eyes, Mila felt as though she was dreaming.

“Gerald, is this car really yours? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!!”

Irene finally came to her senses and she felt her cheeks were sore and started acting up hysterically.

Gerald, you are nothing but a pathetic jerk. A pathetic jerk who won a small prize.

How could you possibly afford to buy such an expensive car?

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 132

Two million six hundred thousand dollars!

What kind of status was this?

Impossible!

Irene rushed over to the car before she unceremoniously flipped out the car driving permit.

“Snap!”

Upon looking at the permit, Irene froze as she dropped the car driving permit to the ground.

She was dumbfounded.

“If you don’t want to look at it, just don’t look at it. Why do you have to throw it on the ground?”

Gerald could not help but smiled wryly.

“Some people do not have any knowledge or experience. Likewise, her father and mother too. They do not have any knowledge or experience in this at all. Gerald, why don’t you tell auntie how you met our Mila?”

Helen quickly ran over to pick up the car driving permit before glancing at it. She then grabbed Gerald’s wrist the next immediately second..

She started acting very cordially as though she was holding her own son’s hand.

“Oh, auntie. We met when we were learning how to drive!”

Gerald replied.

“Hahaha. I knew all along that our Mila has such good taste. In fact, I already knew that you were not just a simple man when I first saw you, Gerald. How can those people such as Quinton or Victor possibly be compared to you?”

“Umm…”

These words put Gerald in an awkward spot.

After all, who was that person who drove him out of their house in the past?

“Yes, Gerald. Cough. Cough. I am so sorry about this matter. Our Mason crashed into your car and damaged it!”

The old lady’s tone drastically changed, it was more pleasant and caring.

She walked towards Gerald with a smile on her face.

She was really shook to the core because of this incident.

But, it then turned out that the owner of this luxurious car was actually her grandson-in-law.

Aside from a handful who still couldn’t comprehend the fact that Gerald was indeed a local tycoon, everyone else started to open up and speak to Gerald.

Since he was in a hurry to go and repair his own car, Gerald didn’t bother waiting but was getting ready to leave even before the birthday banquet was over.

“Gerald, I’ll be heading to school later in the afternoon. Why don’t I accompany you to repair your car then?”

Mila asked playfully.

What a day. Both experiencing shocks and also a pleasant surprise.

To sum it up, she was filled with inexplicable excitement.

“Of course! After all, I told you that I’d bring you out for a ride. Get in!”

Although it was an important birthday banquet, the fact that Mila was able to go out with Gerald felt like the best gift to the old lady.

They then took off together.

“Gerald, are you really a rich second generation? So you’ve been lying to me all this while? Wait a minute, don’t tell me that you’re really the top young master, Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street?”

Mila shot off curiously as she perched in the passenger seat.

Gerald did not know how he should answer her questions.

He was indeed the Mr. Crawford that they had been talking about.

Was he really going to fully disclose his own identity? This could only end up with one result. He would not be able to stay in this school any longer.

Because of that, Gerald decided to hide it.

He shook his head and asked, “So are you hoping that I’m Mr. Crawford, or are you hoping for me not to be him?”

“Not! Because if you really are Mr. Crawford, then you’ll not belong in the same world as us anymore. I will lose a good friend like you then!”

“Hehehe. I am not. Besides that, how can someone like Mr. Crawford possibly be driving a car that is only worth one million five hundred thousand to three million dollars? And also, just take a look at me! If it weren’t for you who picked out my clothes and matched it for me, I wouldn’t be wearing such nice clothes!”

“I simply won the lottery. I won a lot of money!”

Gerald replied as derailed.

“Hmph. That is also true. So, you are still my good friend, Gerald!”

Mila replied with a bright smile.

Gerald then realised that although Mila was someone highly intellectual, she would never think about the complexity of a question.

If it was any other girl, she would definitely be pestering him to get to the bottom of the matter.

However, Mila did not question him any further after finding out that Gerald was not Mr. Crawford.

To her, it was the same, regardless of whether Gerald was rich or not.

Gerald had sent his car to the Lamborghini shop and Wilson helped arrange for the most professional technician to repair his car.

Once that was settled, Gerald went for a walk with Mila.

“Let me buy you a cup of milk tea,” Gerald flashed a tiny smile. The both of them spotted a milk tea shop by the roadside as they were walking.

“Haha, you don’t have to! Remember that I still owe you a cup of milk tea? Plus, it’s me who asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend today. So, I owe you!”

At the mention of milk tea, Mila couldn’t help but think of the first time they met.

She was already walking towards the milk tea shop as they were conversing.

Gerald remained silent and he simply waited for Mila. A cup of milk tea was probably not enough to repay the debt that she owed him!

Gerald was waiting by the side of the road when he suddenly heard a cry for help.

“Help! Help!”

Gerald turned around and he saw that the Mayberry City’s moat was not too far away. A woman was yelling frantically.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 133

Gerald felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the cry for help.

He hastily rushed over.

The moat was pretty desolate as there were no parks or anything else nearby.

The woman was crying and she was drenched from head to toe.

When she saw Gerald, she almost collapsed to her knees. “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Please help save my daughter!”

The woman was beautiful and appeared to be wearing a lot of fine jewelry. It seemed as though she was quite a figure.

She hurriedly pointed at the river and Gerald could see a young girl flailing about in the water.

Her daughter had obviously tripped into the water. The woman tried to rescue her daughter but she could only plead desperately for help as she didn’t know how to swim.

Gerald watched in horror as the young girl’s body slowly stopped moving and started sinking.

He knew that it would be way too late if he did not act upon it now.

Without thinking twice, he dove into the river at an accelerated speed.

Gerald’s family used to live in a village in a small county town. There was a river by the village and Gerald learnt how to swim ever since he was a young child.

Fortunately, the water in this moat was not too deep.

Thankfully, the young girl knew some basic swimming skills which made it easier for Gerald to save the young girl, but the experience she went through was simply daunting, though without any serious mishaps.

After he carried the young girl up, the child choked a little and her face was flushed red.

Her mother was so distressed and she kept patting her back gently. She kept thanking Gerald profusely.

“Call 120 first!”

“Yes, the child is too young. Oh! What kind of mother are you? How can you allow your child to come to the water all by herself?”

Several citizens ran over as soon as they heard the commotion.

Some were making phone calls while several older women started criticizing the young mother.
